Oliver’s Campers holds open house for 50th anniversary
NORWICH – Oliver’s Campers would like to show their appreciation for all customers, both new and old, that have shown their support over the years with a weekend of family, fun and great deals.
Oliver’s Campers, a family owned and operated venture started in 1966, when Robert and Shirley Oliver started selling campers in their front yard, is celebrating its 50th Anniversary Open House this weekend.
50-years later the business remains in Norwich and is moving into a third generation of business, while it has grown into a recognized Central New York RV Dealership.
Jim Oliver took over the family business in 1991 and moved it to its current location next to Mead’s Pond on Route 12. In 1992 Oliver’s Campers was awarded the highest achievement in the RV Industry, the Fleetwood Circle of Excellence Customer Satisfaction Award. This nationwide accolade was received by select dealerships across the country and was based on third party surveys of customers. Oliver’s Campers received the award for 15 consecutive years. They had a 99.7 percent rating, one of only a handful of dealerships to receive such a rating through the award’s 15 year span.
Oliver's Campers has been members of the RV Dealers of Association of Syracuse for over 25 years. During this time they have participated in the two annual Syracuse RV Shows located at the NYS Fairgrounds.
Like all families, and most businesses, Oliver’s has faced and overcome adversity. In their 50 years, they survived two '100 year floods' in 2005 and 2006. The second flood left over four feet of water inside their storefront, showroom and building. Perseverance and hard work once again prevailed as Oliver’s was able to bounce back and recover.
In 2010 Oliver’s was asked by one of their manufacturers, Cruiser RV, to represent their product in Hershey, PA at “America’s Largest RV Show.” This task is usually carried out by a dealership much larger than Oliver’s, but with their knowledge and diligence the expectations were exceeded in flying colors.
That same year Oliver’s was sought out directly by Lockheed Martin for the purchase of five travel trailers. These trailers were shipped to Saudi Arabia and were used as part of a traveling convoy that was responsible for updating radars and satellites for the US Department of Homeland Security.
Since 2014 Oliver’s has pursued a venture in the Music Festival Industry. On any given weekend, trailers from their fleet of 50 are used at events anywhere from Georgia, Tennessee, Michigan, Delaware and Virginia. Festivals like Bonnaroo, Firefly, Lockn, Delaware Junction and Phish’s MagnaBall . Their trailers have been used by artists from Santana, Led Zeppelin and the Grateful Dead.
Even with Oliver’s Camper’s wide reach and spectrum, they have never forgotten their roots. They have continually donated the use of trailers to assist community events like the Pumpkin Fest, Chenango Blues Fest, Gus Macker, Colorscape, Relay for Life and the Chenango County Fair.
Oliver’s Campers would like to thank the community for helping them reach such a milestone. They can’t wait for the next 50 years.
To celebrate, the Special Prices on new trailers have a discount of up to 25 percent off MSRP. There will also be free hitches with any trailer purchase and 10 percent off all in store accessories.
